The ongoing commitment of Michael and Leslie Lanahan to the issue of substance abuse and hazing prevention is a true inspiration. We are especially appreciative of the many student organizations who work every day to educate their peers about the signs of alcohol overdose and the need to intervene at the first sign of trouble.

4 Gordie s Call Thank you for the important work you are doing to educate our students about making good choices. administrator response to the national Gordie Center survey The following groups purchased GORDIEcheck/BAC cards in : American Berkshire School Bloomfield College Blue Ridge Poison Control Bowdoin College Bridgewater College Butler, Kappa Alpha Theta Caldwell College Churchill School The College at Brockport Connecticut College Creative Drug Education Drury Family Career & Community Leaders of America Fort Worth County Day School Hillsdale College Hiram College Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas Lesley Medaille College Mendocino Coast District Hospital Middlebury College Mom s Club of Henderson, NV Northwest College ShareHouse Inc. Siena College Thriving Youth Connected Community of Delaware of Utah of Virginia Virginia Commonwealth Westminster School GordiesCall.org The new Gordie s Call website went live this spring as part of the national Gordie s Call campaign to prevent alcohol abuse and hazing. In addition to receiving free resource information on alcohol overdose, hazing and medical amnesty on the website, organizations may purchase materials at GORDIEcheck/BAC Cards The response to the redesigned GORDIEcheck/BAC Card has been extremely positive with many campuses purchasing cards to hand out to the entire freshman class. To date, nearly 35,000 cards have been distributed by 32 organizations and several concerned parents. Recently, the card design was tweaked to increase readability and include information on how to estimate the number of drinks in a standard plastic cup. TIPS FOR A LOWER BAC Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is the percentage of alcohol in your blood. Judgment and reaction skills are impaired at BACs of.05 and above. Pace & space - Sip your drink instead of chugging, alternate with water or soda and have no more than 1 drink/hour. On average, it takes nearly 3 hours for most people to eliminate the alcohol in 2 drinks. Eat before and while drinking - Alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream more slowly when there is food (especially protein) in your stomach. Avoid mixing alcohol with other drugs - Some prescription and over-the-counter drugs (e.g. antihistamines) can increase alcohol s effects. Caffeine and other stimulants can trick you into feeling less impaired. Use caution when sick or tired - When you re sleep deprived or ill, alcohol leaves the body more slowly. Note: This card offers general guidance and does not guarantee a specific BAC. Calculations used were developed using normative data, but individuals metabolize alcohol at different rates.

13 Step UP! Bystander Intervention Makes a Difference Too often, students lack the skills to identify when a friend has a problem. In some cases, they are afraid to intervene until it is too late. To remedy this situation, The of Arizona, in collaboration with the NCAA, the BACCHUS Network and the Gordie Center, created the Step UP! bystander intervention training. This evidence-informed program has won national acclaim and media coverage. The Gordie Center has been actively involved in promoting the model and over the past few months provided facilitation trainings to over 60 faculty, staff and students at Virginia Commonwealth and Radford. This summer, the of Arizona hosted the inaugural Step UP! Bystander Intervention Program Facilitator Training and Conference. This intensive training was attended by representatives from the 64 campuses and two community coalitions listed below. Thirty of these institutions received NCAA grants to allow one representative from athletics administration and one from student affairs to attend the training at no cost. The Gordie Center director serves on the Step UP! Advisory Board and helped plan and facilitate the conference. It s so clear that you all are so generous with this program and not possessive about how it is implemented. I m super appreciative of the heart behind this it shows. Thank you!
